(Closed) Dogs at Reception..(Pic Heavy)

SO…..I have the cutest puppy ever. (Don’t bother trying, you will not change my mind.) And when we get home from the Destination Wedding we are having a party/reception in my FMIL’s backyard. And I am going to bring my dog. She’s very well behaved, not barky or bitey or hyper. She’ll probably just sit on my lap the entire time. We even got her a damask collar with a black bow tie and she has her own cake topper! I am watching 4 Weddings and one of the brides brought her dog to her formal venue for the ceremony and the guests were not impressed. What do you think, tacky, cute, stupid? I am still going to bring her regardless of your thoughts, I’m just curious as to what some guests may think.

@noritake22: Yeah, to be honest the only thing I am worried about is kids feeding her sweets. At a birthday party I caught these kids giving her cake several times and finally I told them. “You can’t feed her cake! Now she’s gonna get sick and die”

I agree with @noritake22. I saw that 4Weddings too and I thought those girls were pretty mean. That dog was hyper but cute!! Trust me, if we could have had H at our wedding (venues said no dogs) we would have. Instead we blew up a photo of him and framed it–it was in the place of honor at both the ceremony and reception.

we had our dogs in our wedding, so they were in the church and tagged along to the reception for a bit to say hello. They were hyper, but it was also because there were 150 people around to give them pets. And it made for some of our favorite pics of the day!

hmmm one got cut off of the other little guy, and the rest of my message. Anyhow, I think its adorable! Some guests were a little taken aback by it, but we didnt care. Most of them loved it, and it made us happy. Id still regret today if we didnt have them there

My photographer (who is also my cousin) is pushing hard for us to bring our dogs to the wedding. My Fiance and mom are really against it. We might do a trash the dress session with them after instead. I’d loooove to bring my dogs so I say go for it. It isn’t possible to please everyone all the time, so someone is bound to not like it, but it’s your wedding, do what makes you happy.

If I can swing it, I’ll have my dog at my wedding. He’s my bestest dude, I’ve had him 8 years next month. He’s a retired therapy dog, so he is very well behaved, and to be honest, I think some people would be shocked if he WASN’T there. Everybody knows my Dubby.
